Transportation and Communication
- Roads
Since the re-building of Ko Phi Phi after the 2004 Tsunami paved roads have started to appear, although still under construction and for pedestrian use only. Bicycling is the most popular form of transport in Ton Sai.
- Air
The nearest airports are at Krabi, Trang and Phuket. All three airports have direct road and boat connections.
- Ferry Boat
During the tourist season, there are frequent ferry boats to Ko Phi Phi from Phuket, Ko Lanta and Krabi Town. In the "green season" (June-Oct), travel to & from Ko Lanta is via Krabi Town only.
- Main Ferry Pier
There is a large modern deep water Government Pier on Tonsai Bay, Phi Phi Don Village completed late 2009. It takes in the main ferry boats from Phuket, Krabi and Koh Lanta. Visitors to Phi Phi Island must pay 20 Thai Baht on arrival and pay on the pier. Dive boats, longtail boats and supply boats have their own drop off points along the piers, so making the pier highly efficient in the peak seasons.
- Post Office
The New Post office was completed and opened 2010 and is housed in a smart new building behind the PP Princess Resort area in Phi Phi Don village. Tourists can buy stamps, post postcards, aerograms and send letters. Registered Post, EMS and parcel service can also be organized here. Souvenirs of the Thai Postal service can be bought here as well. Open Monday to Saturday, 10am till 6pm except bank holidays.
